Chapter 199: The Next Step
Yes, Crete is indeed very unwilling, unwilling to be weak, although in this small potion workshop, Crete is not weak, even if it is against the enemy or the great sword master when Wolf is wet, relying on the endless and unguardable secret medicine, he is not without the strength to fight back, but it still can't change that he is still an ordinary person who is powerless, a pathetic weakling, once he gets out of this door that is armed to the dental potion workshop, his Cretan dignity is nothing!
Indeed, in the eyes of His Royal Highness Wells and Keith Swordsman, who is a little knowledgeable, Crete, who has received the knowledge of medicinal materials from Wof, is indeed promising and his status has skyrocketed, and it is already a sure thing to become a great potion master in the future, and when he becomes a potion master, even their king of Tessari will not dare to offend him easily.
But that's not what he wants most, what he wants is to fight side by side with his friends and get through the difficult times together, not just sit in this little room like this, do nothing, do nothing, just look at Wolf, watch them put themselves in danger...... But he couldn't!
Because Crete doesn't know anything but potions, he can't help Wolf with anything but potions, and he has no influence except potions. (The last one is wrong, even in the field of potions, Crete does not have any influence for the time being)
Because compared to following in the footsteps of Wolf desperately, Crete has a more important mission waiting for him to do, that is the reason why Wolf chose to come to the "Apothecary Workshop of Crete", to cover for the identity and rationality of their group to enter the city, and to act as a witness, which must be something that can be absolutely trusted by people, after all, the cost of betrayal is too low compared to the harvest of apostasy, and if it is not a solid friendship, it is absolutely no match for human greed.
Wolf didn't say a word about this, it was obvious that this was a manifestation of Wolf's absolute trust in Crete, and Crete couldn't live up to it, after all, except for those life-saving elixirs that I hope would never be used, the only thing Crete could do for his friends was to behave well.
......
Not long after Wolf and his party left the "Cretan Apothecary Workshop", the sky had not yet completely darkened, and the old nanny who took care of Crete had not yet arrived, and it was time to come to the workshop every day to deliver meals, and a team of five city guards who were in charge of patrolling that day came to the locked door of the apothecary workshop and rang the doorbell vigorously.
Of course, Crete must not have opened the door, nor did he answer the door, after all, with Crete's well-known loner, difficult to communicate normally, if he suddenly began to be courteous, then the cat is too obvious, Crete is not an uninformed little civilian, trembling in the face of interrogation does not dare to routine, on the contrary, although the emotional intelligence of dealing with people is not good, but with his excellent IQ, it doesn't take a moment to think about how to deal with it.
I saw Crete facing the rapid banging on the door and the various sounds of the doorbell ringing outside the door to investigate, as always, he turned a deaf ear, but sat in front of his spacious desk, lowered his head and continued to deal with the corpses of the two ordinary demonic beasts that Worf brought with them......
Hair, flesh, heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and in the end only a team of white bones and complete teeth remained, all neatly disassembled and displayed in front of Crete, and even if not the raw materials for making the "dispelling potion", they were carefully processed and stored in several bottles and jars for later use.
And these processes in Crete had been well handled long before the city guards knocked on his door, and now Crete was actually just conducting some ordinary potion experiments, obviously waiting for someone...... Or what kind of time are you waiting for!
"Hello Auntie, do you know the owner of this shop? Is the owner of this pharmacy workshop there? We are city guards, and we want to ask the owner about something, we have been waiting here in front of the door for a long time, but no one has responded, so we think that this shopkeeper may be absent, but the sign inside the door is hung with the words 'Open', we wonder if the store is in a hurry, maybe it is forgotten......"
There was a loud urn outside the "Apothecary Workshop in Crete", and the voice of a low, honest man seemed to have just met someone related to the Apothecary Workshop at the door, and he couldn't wait to inquire about the identity of this suspicious shop.
"Oh, you're here for Crete, aren't you? This young man is such a bad temper, about ten years ago, when he first came to the city of Tsali, his personality was already like this, many times this Crete locked himself in his own potion workshop to do experiments, I don't know how many lists he has missed because of this, but it is precisely because of his deep obedience that there is not much news about him, but what kind of potion experiments are he probably still carrying out now!"
The old nanny easily took out a bunch of keys from her bosom, and the keys were carefully pasted with the "house numbers" of so many shops on the street, and the numbers of the "Apothecary Workshop in Crete" were also impressively there, and the people who stayed there were obviously in need of a good gossip to satisfy the curiosity of the gossipy women.
"But like Crete, stubbornly following the irregular schedule of his predecessors, and hastily solving the time to eat, this is not just an overnight thing, it is very common, many times I quietly walk in and put it down, and when the door is opened, you will wait for me here for a while, I will inform this bastard boy of Crete, how many articles have been said, or so careless and don't remember to put away the 'open' sign at the door and do experiments again......"
After giving a general introduction to the specific situation of Crete, the chattering old nanny opened the old lock of the door, and Crete did not pay too much attention to the movement at the door, and the movements in his hands did not stop, and he worked hard in the center of the store through the heavy cabinet, as if he was not the slightest surprised by the arrival of the city guards.
In fact, Crete was not surprised, after all, the city guards came uninvited at the invitation of the old nanny, which was part of Crete's design to hide the identity of His Highness Wells, which was what Crete needed to do to stay for Worf and wet them, and it was also an important guarantor for them to stay in the royal city of Tsali at this time.
And the Wufu Dashi group who left also entered the next step!
